don’t worry Mr January, now that Truronian have sold out to the big guys (First) the bus wont be running for much longer. they’ve ruined the bus service in Cornwall (which as why truronian got as big as they are) and they’ll do it again.

poor alan.

its certainly started a debate in the local.
and i agree heartily with Leslie Brown, as alan is such a creature of habit and has been catching said bus at the same time year in year out . surely the driver would think it unusual if he wasnt there.

But as every one in Cornwalll knows “the buses don’t go to Truro on Wednesdays.

If you don’t understand that you are an emmet!

As Alan and others catch said bus every Friday and Saturday night then perhaps the driver should knock on Alans door if he is not there and ask his whereabouts

No No no! This article is unfair to buses in Cornwall! I know, I have been there and used said buses….

I will be generous and say perhaps the confusion arises out of the printed timetable?

On the timetable it says said bus will stop at this stop. But Ha! only at certain times and days of the week (this is NOT on the timetable)

And in order to catch a bus to your destination, you need to catch a bus to A destination- the nearest ‘town’ …Penzance..in out in out - then catch another bus to planned end destination regardless of proximity to start out route.

Confused? So were we…

In the traditional manner?

I’m from Truro, and I can tell you that the proper way to stop a Cornish bus is to offer sugar lumps to the horses.
